Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for July 03, 2012

Oh Honey, we missed you.

And he STILL created infinitely more jobs than President Obama.

I will give Obama one thing – he’s destroyed more jobs than pretty much anyone else. Wasn’t that another crony-run Solar firm that just went belly up this week?

Orion

Mitt is murder.

Ah so, so nice to see Honey again. Duke will be thrilled ! (Not).

Peabody-Martini, Alabama_Al, and pouncingtiger, Please do not bother Orion with facts.By the way, is a Peabody-Martini made with vodka or gin?

Is this a record ? Only one comment ( relevant to the strip ) before the trolls came out. If you all would simply flag or ignore them, rather than respond to their inanities, ( which is what they crave ), perhaps they’d confine themselves to Mallard Fillmore. Nah, we couldn’t be that lucky…

Good to see Honey again, but she needs an update – the Mao jacket needs to go

@Alabama_Al:Heck yes! I think his space policies are the most brilliant of any President we’ve had since Kennedy. Absolutely outstanding and I OFTEN praise him for that.

Orion

Bane didn’t outsource jobs – it offshored them. That makes what Romney did much better!

Should have put two and two together when they mentioned Romney’s “services” to China. Welcome back, Honey – it’s been a while.

Since when was Honey back in China? BTW, nobody wears those Mao jackets in China today except senior citizens.

Or back working for China, I meant.

Honey! I wondered where she got off to.

You’d think she’d be turning a bit grey by now, though.

It took you this long to figure what which side GT was on?

@gmartin997 Trudeau’s a liberal*? Who’da thunk it? How long have you been reading this strip…?

@Gatocat The whole fuss over so-called ‘Obamacare’ is probably, along with gun control, the thing that makes most of the rest of the developed world wonder what they’re putting in the US water supply. The idea that a majority of Americans is now in favour of NOT ensuring that all citizens can get a decent standard of healthcare regardless of the ability to pay just boggles our minds, since it is considered one of the marks of developed civilisation everywhere else.

*’liberal’ as per US definition. ‘Centre-right’ as per European definition. ‘Wet Tory’ as per 1980s British definition….

Why not praise Jeffery Immelt, Obummer’s phoney baloney jobs council leader. He’s created plenty of jobs….overseas….

Orion said, about 4 hours ago***********************************

Nothing of consequence.

Odd, that the USA is a rare “advanced” society where the people don’t care enough about their fellow citizens to make sure that EVERYONE has health insurance. Obama may drag you kicking and screaming into a civilized sense of social responsibility.

“Obamacare” is a bully victim name. It’s a name people don’t take seriously because it’s something to pick on instead. I think its negative association is more because of the name it was saddled with instead of what it actually is.

It really doesn’t matter which party or their current personality is in office, since they’re all corrupt and incompetent. Our current “democratic” system guarantees that result, and it’s not going to change for the better any time soon.

Oh, Honey! How we’ve missed you!!!

President Obama should proclaim that breathing is good. Then sit back and watch as 90% of the Republican Party dies within 10 minutes.

The Times of London reports, “President Obama is seen walking on water.” Fox News picks up the story, “Proof that Obama can’t swim!”

“I can see on which side GT’s bread is buttered.” Yep, his bread and that of the vast majority of Americans as well, if they only knew it.

Please, how long since Honey last appeared in the strip/ i am trying to remember the circumstances.

If its taken this long to figure out that gt leans left…. Well nuff said… Lmfao

A corporate raider identifies a company with undervalued stock, buys it up and gains control, sells off assets, and departs with the money leaving the employees to soon be laid off as the company collapses. Mitt is the opposite. He buys stock and gets control, then sits down with them and figures out why their company is struggling, and helps them fix it, saving their jobs and incidentally making a profit with the company now at increased value. He sometimes has to fire a couple of dead wood people. This procedure doesn’t always work, he’s had a small number of failures, which are now being trumpeted. Wow, is this the worst they can do?

“Funny, she didn’t say a word when the previous administration got us into a stupid and pointless war that killed 110,000 civilians and 4,400 US soldiers (plus 32,000 wounded).”And don’t forget . . . has cost the U.S. – to date – over $1 trillion (and rising). Including tens of billions of dollars missing, stolen or ‘mismanaged’.I have family like yours also. Angrily defended Bush, Dick, and Iraq for years. Now that the bills are due, the whole thing is somehow ’Obama’s deficit’.

It’s good to see Honey again . . . But the Party doesn’t talk about ‘the masses’ anymore. The Chinese 1% (the ‘Red Royalty’) now disseminates phrases like “the stability of the country”, “economic development requires stability” and "stability overrides everything.”

So nice to see Honey back again!!

Profits over People, the Good Old American Way. Get rid of American jobs, Obomney know how to create jobs overseas. lol

Party over People. Proftis over People. that good old Republican way of screwing the “little people.”

only the Little People pay taxes, anyway. so who’s going to buy the ""Stuff"" when the little people have no jobs to make money to buy the “things” Business makes in China to sell to Americans.

such idiocy, the American Busisness’s way to screw everyone.

Let’s face it – you have to be really stupid to support the current crop of Republicans if you earn less than $100K a year.

Ha, burn on Romney. But screw the politics, I want to know how Honey’s love life is going.

Honey is back!

Unfortunately so is that idiotic conservative cockroach troll.

Her first appearance was January 22nd 1976. 36 years ago.

She was first called honey on February 16, 1976

the 32,000 wounded should not be an afterthought— that’s the most important stat about the wars. All of us will be burdened with them for the rest of their lives, as, of course, we should be. They’re going to cost us all a bunch, forever. Not just financially, but morally as well.

And how many soldiers have died under the Obama “administration”? What absolute hypocrisy! Where are the jobs Obama promised? And anything at all that will get done will be because it is re-election time.

Good to see Honey, sans Duke. It’s long past time she stood on her own. Maybe she can hook up with Phred (who also has not been seen for a while).

How many days of the week, do they water you? Just wondering.

“When President Bush tried to change Fannie and Freddie, he was blocked . . . strange that the bubble popped just when McCain started to lead over Barry?”The right used to try to blame the entire recession on Fannie & Freddie and Barney Frank, even though at the time, the Republicans controlled every committee in both the House and the Senate, AND the White House AND the Supreme Court.They haven’t been trying this in the last few years, because it’s so absurd.But good ol’ Guard . . . trying again!

I was unaware that Iraq even owned a battleship or an aircraft carrier. What’s this bullshit that you spew about them forcing American women to wear burkas?

You are an idiot if you think the Iraq war ever had a freaking thing to do with defending America.

Now here’s the nugget: if they were done here, somebody would have to pay minimum wage, and the work just isn’t worth it. So off to China it goes.

I am so glad to see Honey, and as for Orion…he should tighten his belt.

Thanks Wiley, great to see Honey again.

Honey is Chinese, which means that she may look 35 until she’s 70. And when she turns 71, she’ll look 105.

I’m as liberal as anyone I know, but I realized a long time ago that both major parties are extremely corrupt. I stopped voting for major party candidates years ago. These days, my votes are split between the Green and Socialist Parties. President Obama is far too conservative for my tastes. I voted for Brian Moore (Socialist Party) in the last presidential election.

Romney did create jobs inside the US as well. Many thousands of them. Mr Obama, to my knowledge has not created one private sector job. So why the hypocrisy? I love Trudeau and his leftist politics, but facts are facts.

When Honey met Duke, she mentioned that one of her first translating gigs was for Nixon, no? That was in 1972, so if she was just starting out (perhaps in her early 20’s), it would put her in her early 60’s now…

Gato: have your sister look up Mormon beliefs if she wants an antichrist to cry about.

Well I’ll be, my earlier comment was flagged off the site, probably for the Monkey Tail link. I can’t figure out if was from the Chinese censors or from the local comrades. It was picking up some good hits from 6 countries including Others and then poof gone. I hate counter-free speech reactionaries. Remember, it’s not how many times you get flagged off the site that counts, it’s how many times you re-post that matters.

Some people don’t like that high brow Sundance stuff.

When will this imbecile shut up ? I don’t mind that he’s deluded and is so far out in right field that his rants have become a joke, but he is a one trick pony and is tedious, repetitious and boring.

Alright, enough of this shit. I’m every bit as biracial as the President, though not as dark skinned, and I’m getting so fucking tired of hearing about his skin color. Oddly, I ONLY hear it from the left. Grow up!

@GuardSGTBut trying to get Kurds, Sunnies and Shites to work together is like hurding cats.

Well, deliberately poking fun at the names of their denominations will help, I’m sure…

Personally I had no problem with Iraq 1, nor with Afghanistan if it had not been ignored once Iraq 2 started. But the USA after 9/11 had a massive amount of worldwide sympathy which it completely squandered in Iraq 2, where (until after the invasion) there was no Al Quaeda activity at all.

Had it spent that political capital in getting a real settlement in Israel/Palestine, it could have brought great good from a massive evil. As it is, that problem has been neglected for a decade, even though it is the best recruiting sergeant the jihadists have. As it is, the grafitto in Aida camp (Bethlehem) sums it up – We cannot go on living like this, so we wait to die’.

Nihao, Honey!

I have to agree, it`s nice to see Miss Honey again, and she could use a wardrobe update

from a new guy usedta be a lurker: You guys are almost as funny as the strip.I liked the punxh line of the Faux News reporter accepting Romney’s award.
